The 2010 Volkswagen Eos Convertible is a thing of beauty. Eos is the name of the car, as in "Ee-Ohs", not an acronym "E.O.S.". It's a tiny car, but it packs a lot of features. The Eos is a hard top convertible with a sunroof. Putting the top up and down is a show in itself.

The New (New) Nissan GT-R

Nissan GT-RThe Nissan GT-R is definitely a newer car and has not been around long; most would consider it brand new. An Ohio-based performance garage has redesigned the car and made it new again.

However, Switzer Performance Innovation (located in Oberlin, Ohio), felt that 480hp wasn't nearly enough and boosted the rating up to 700hp.
